My father-in-law is 85 and still uses the term "coloreds". That's about like Pat Robertson's views on gay marriage.

My grandfather was like that. I used to ask him, "what color were they?"

Purple.

You see, long ago God made man in His Holy Image (and women too, ahem), and made them all the many colors of the rainbow. But the orange people, who had no Jersey Shore, wandered away to find better tanning salons, and the blue people went up into outer space, save one who mentored five teenagers to become Power Rangers and fight the evil Rita Repulsa. The green people slowly died off as they were mistaken for trees and cut down, and finally only the purple people, with mystical powers over the forces of the universe, remained. Thus we now await the coming of the Great Purple Leader, who shall bring us out of dark times into salvation.

700 Club host Pat Robertson agreed and added: "The foundation of our society since the founding of our great Republic is under attack by a few people [who] want to have their way doing of sex affirmed by everyone else."

Ed Grubermann:PsiChick: Pfft, the Purple People wouldn't bother with that. They will come in spaceships built by the blue people bearing the mighty sword Excalibur! They shall have no need of fools or bigots! THEY SHALL RULE!

Just make the Purple People sit in rocking chairs. Defeats them every time.

Newsflash to Pat Robertson: Your spiralling descent into irrelevance pleases me. Do make more such statements. Flailing your arms in righteous panic and decreeing "BECAUSE GOD" on matters of no direct concern to you and yours will only hasten gravity's inevitable pull on your sad, deluded carcass. History will cast a wearied look upon your legacy and shake its head at the nonsense humans used to busy itself with.

letrole:Homosexual marriage is pursued as a means to an end. Homosexuals, by an exceedingly large margin, do not wish to get married or to form civil unions. Rather, they want to be accepted as normal. Their hope is that public approval of homosexuality will follow the legal establishment of homosexual marriages.

This just a rewording of what Robertson has already said. You used to be so much better at this. :tsk tsk:

I hope Pat lives to be 300 - long enough to see the Christianity he preaches either die entirely or be ignored in favor of a more hippy-dippy Christianity (how's THAT for irony?). I hope his 300-year-old brain remains as healthy as it is now, so that he sees all this happen. I hope he keeps biatching about it, so much that on the last episode of The 700 Club, he asks "Why have you forsaken me?" and the answer is a resounding "BECAUSE YOU'RE A PRICK AND THE GOD YOU WORSHIP IS EVEN WORSE."
